[QUOTE="DJC3, post: 2081038, member: 468536"] You’re right, there are definite positives to be gained from moving on. I don’t want to end up with Miss Havisham tendencies. Your dads stories sound very moving. I was too late with my dad - wish I’d thought of it sooner, but you can get a book made of people’s lives - an interviewer comes to chat to them over several sessions I think and at the end collates all the memories into a ‘This is Your Life’ sort of book. Otherwise, like [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] suggested, write them down for the future. These sort of experiences will soon be lost to popular memory. I did get my dad a dictaphone to record him singing some of his favourite old music hall songs, it’s lovely listening now as it reminds me of my childhood - he used to sing a lot of those songs to me and my brother at bedtime - looking back, many were quite inappropriate really, but quite innocent by today’s standard.
